Maebashi, Capital city in Gunma Prefecture, Japan
Maebashi extends across 311 square kilometers at the foot of Mount Akagi, surrounded by mountains and crossed by the Tone River system.
The area transformed from Umayabashi, a Nara period settlement near a bridge with horse stables, to Maebashi castle town in 1649.
The Maebashi Museum of Literature preserves works of notable Japanese poets, including the manuscripts of Sakutaro Hagiwara, who was born in this city.
Visitors can reach Maebashi Station from Tokyo Station in 70 minutes using the JR Joetsu or Hokuriku Shinkansen followed by a local connection.
The Hatsuichi Matsuri festival, held each January 9th, displays numerous daruma dolls in different colors and dimensions across the city.
